The Ford Ranch
This became ours on 2/29/08. It really isn't a ranch, but it is 6 acres, complete with a pond with turtles, bass, and frogs, cattle birds, herons and ducks among others, and of course 6 dogs to keep it busy.

Yes I have no life - 17
Cooking with duck eggs doesn’t call for a major revision in technique. But there are differences: the yolks of duck eggs have more fat and the whites more protein than those of chicken eggs, and you need to take these differences into account when cooking. Somewhat gentler cooking is the key.

16
16 (sixteen) is the natural number following 15 and preceding 17. 16 is a composite number, and a square number, being 42 = 4 × 4. It is the smallest number with exactly five divisors, its proper divisors being 1, 2, 4 and 8.
In speech, the numbers 16 and 60 are often confused. When carefully enunciated, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 16 /sɪksˈtiːn/ vs 60 /ˈsɪksti/. However, in dates such as 1666 or when contrasting numbers in the teens, such as 15, 16, 17, the stress shifts to the first syllable: 16 /ˈsɪkstiːn/.
Sixteen is the fourth power of two. For this reason, 16 was used in weighing light objects in several cultures. The British have 16 ounces in one pound; the Chinese used to have 16 liangs in one jin. In old days, weighing was done with a beam balance to make equal splits. It would be easier to split a heap of grains into sixteen equal parts through successive divisions than to split into ten parts. Chinese Taoists did finger computation on the trigrams and hexagrams by counting the finger tips and joints of the fingers with the tip of the thumb. Each hand can count up to 16 in such manner. The Chinese abacus uses two upper beads to represent the 5s and 5 lower beads to represent the 1s, the 7 beads can represent from a hexadecimal digit from 0 to 15 in each column.

I think I should have named her Fertile Myrtle! Really Fifteen Lucy?
1st Gary told me up to 12, then I read up to 16. Now I just looked it up again and this one says 8-21, another up to 20. I'm not looking it up anymore!

14!!!!!
I guess she is going for the "Gold" to hit the 16 eggs! I have nothing else to add, but hope she has a big enough Duck Butt to sit on them! When she starts sitting, we'll have a count down!
